WOW!!!!
for a YA book, this has surprisingly a lot of trigger warnings, so make sure you check them out before reading!
i was very torned between giving it 5 or 4 stars... and the reason was purily because Finnick is my favourite character (alongside Katniss of course) and HE DESERVED BETTER (and Prim.... holy shit, WHY??). however, even with that, this book still deserves 5 stars (I might one day change it tho, when I eventually re-read).
but don't let that fool you... I'm still pissed. I cried so much... he never got to see a world without Snow in it... he deserved to be free with his wife and his child (did he even know he was going to be a dad?) ðŸ˜
but yeah... besides this. this book was EXCELLENT. I loved the ending and I'm glad Katniss had kids because I remember her saying the only reason she didn't want them was because of the games, so it makes sense that she EVENTUALLY had them long after the games were done.
I was sad for Haymitch too... I was hoping he would become a recovering alcoholic, especially after not having access to alcohol in district 13 but no... I'm so scared to read his story because of what he said about it in this book.
Peeta's story in this book made me sad but it was also so interesting... and I was so glad he came back to her...
AND FUCK GALE.
pretty much this whole book made me sad but we all know how I feel about sad books (I love them).
anyways... Suzanne Collins is a genius and I will never shut up about that.
